Howling:Why is Rory Williams so similar to Mickey Smith?
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Panopticon → Why is Rory Williams so similar to Mickey Smith?
Why is Rory Williams so similar to Mickey? Here are some of the similarites I spotted:
- Both are the boyfriend/husband of one of the Doctor's companions (Rose Tyler and Amy Pond respectively).
- Both have appeared as an Auton (in their first series too).
- Both have departed/died in a story which featured a classic enemy.
- Both had a suprise return in their second series' finale (DW: Army of Ghosts and The Pandorica Opens.
- Both were recurring characters during their first series.
- Both joined the TARDIS crew in their second series.
See? Is this Steven Moffat's reimagening of Mickey or not? Or is it just coincidence...?
